About David

I have a Ph.D. in American History, which I love to read, research, write and teach. There’s something especially thrilling about putting the puzzle pieces of past together and then expressing it as a compelling story.

I’ve been tutoring since high school and I find it very rewarding to help students have that moment where everything “clicks.” As much as I enjoyed lecturing and leading group discussions during my time at USC, my favorite aspect of teaching is working with students one-to-one because I find it most effective in resolving difficulties and generating real understanding.

Before USC, I graduated with highest honors from NYU and spend four months traveling in South America, learning about globalization and economic development.I have a Ph.D. in American History, which I love to read, research, write and teach.

Approved subjects

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

American History

I have a Ph.D. in American History from USC and taught the subject there for 6 years. I've tutored many different students in History.

Economics

I majored in Economics at NYU and have tutored many students in the subject since 2005.
